What did you mod today?

Nice mods CRX! I have a weak spot for that Ultrafire zoomie, ultra-cheap for what you get, well made and they have put a lot of thought in the design, only draw-back, for the size it should house a 18350 cell.

Is that RVS light an old-school light from dx back in the days? Fandyfire perhaps?

Yeah the Ultrafire zoomie is nice, compact chubby :slight_smile:
I modded that one for an Efest 1200mAh 16500 cell so that’s much better too but I had to hack together the lighted switch from scratch.

That’s an Aurora SH-034 stainless steel with the blue lighted tail, cheap mans sinner :smiley: Think I bought it from Manafont maybe about seven years ago or so, one of my first lights, very well made. I’m in the process of tarting it up for sale.

Yep, Aurora it was :slight_smile:
Some of those old lights are still in stock at dx btw, but not this Aurora.

CRX, why didn’t you show it from the start?
Amazing. :slight_smile:

Well it’s a bit of a mess really, but it works :smiley:

So we finally get to see the ugly side of a CRX mod, he isn’t perfect!

Certainly not :smiley:

To me it’s beautiful. :slight_smile:

The outside is about beauty, the inside is about function. Both are outstanding (but who am I to judge).

I’m just giving him a hard time because of how refined all of his finished products look. However, if you look at hot rod car types or some other hobbies I assure you the inside is not always all about “function” to some :slight_smile:

I stuck a Samsung LH351D in a Zebralight SC64c.

I’m jealeaus!
:+1:

I bet THAT was fun Bob! Nice work!

Today my Uv LED arrived (and a few really nice leds are on its way to me) so i wanted to work out a way to solder the LEDs to the MCPCB (My selfmade hotplate with modded PC Powersupply was damaged because of a broken waterpipe that flooded my workbench a few month back). But i had a few spare heating elements, my old Aluminium Block (i grinded it out of a Amplifier Cooler) and i could revive the temp controller. Using a car battery for the ~10Amps draw and my vise to hold it in place. The right side is cold enough to touch when the left side is above 200°C. Worked like a charm Temp set to 198°C (overshoot to only 203°C with hysterese set to 5°C) . Now i should get a new Powersupply and some kind of case to make it nice.




That’s awesome Docc! Really good work on improvisation, you’re all set to go into the re-flow business now! :smiley:

Grinded down the zwb2 filter and removed most of the rough machining marks (where the MCPCB is placed).
Today i reflow the UV led and then i have to wait for the driver.


TOD’s hittin’ the mods fast & hard :+1:

Nice work Docc! Really cool what you can do with the glass lenses, neat set up for sure!

Twas a hard mod, TCLO on my zanflare T1!

Changed my D25c (again) to a sst-20 4000k and A6 fet driver. Pretty decent throw for the size of the light.
